Washington, DC – The Senate Senate and Entrepreneurship Committee voted on Wednesday by a 12-7 margin to advance in the nomination of the election of President Donald Trump for the administrator of the administration of small businesses (SBA) to the floor of the Senate.
Kelly LoefflerAn outstanding business executive and philanthropist who served as Georgia senator for two years, appeared before the committee on January 28 and promised to donate his annual salary of $ 207,500 to the beneficial organization.
Loeffler and her husband, Jeff, created a Fortune 500 Financial and Technology Company together.
“Like President Trump, Senator Loeffler left a successful career in the private sector to advance in the first United States agenda,” said Loeffler’s spokeswoman Caitlin O’dea, Fox News in January. “If confirmed, the practice of donating its federal salary to beneficial organizations and non -profit organizations throughout the country will continue, and will focus complete on working to make small business administration an entrance door to the American dream for entrepreneurs in entrepreneurs in businessmen in the whole country “.
Loeffler, whose net assets are estimated at approximately $ 1 billion, previously donated its annual Senate salary of $ 174,000 between 2019 and 2021 to more than 40 beneficial organizations of Georgia and non -profit organizations.
These organizations included food banks, faith groups and opposite organizations to abortion, parenting/adoption care groups, as well as organizations that promote medical care, agriculture, education, the application of the law and disaster relief.
Loeffler also met Senator Ed Markey, D-Mass, during his confirmation hearing on the Trump administration announcement that he would freeze federal funds and subsidies.
On January 27, the Office of Management and Budget published a note that ordered a break over all federal subsidies and loans with the aim of eradicating “wokeness” and “government weapons” to improve government efficiency.
The White House took the memorandum on January 29, but the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said the measure did not amount to a “recision of the freezing of federal funds.”
Markey asked Loeffler if he believed that the measure was legal or not, amid the concerns of the members of the Congress that the Trump administration tried to avoid Congress and retain funds.
“I totally agree with President Trump’s decision to stop unnecessary spending,” Loeffler told Markey. “It resulted in an overwhelming victory that many Americans were waiting for relief against excessive government spending.”
